President Donald Trump has spent years posting respectful content on social media, from All-Caps Skrouds to the opening of his AI presidential videos. But we often wonder: Did Trump actually sit down and send it himself?
Wired has a new report looking at the mechanics of Trump’s social posting habits. The sources are all people from within Trump’s orbit, which means you need to take everything they say with a grain of salt. These people always sleep.
But the wire’s reporting offers some insight into what’s going on behind the scenes. And it can help us connect some dots and better understand what is actually going on when Trump’s account posts such negative posts.
Trump types about 5% of his posts
The short answer is that Trump doesn’t actually screw up the posts that everyone sees every day about 95% of the time. At least that’s according to Laura Loomer, the endoriracy of creating a forpiracy is a big catch in the administration when it comes to people who are fired for “disloyalty.”
Loomer does not have an official role within the White House, but the internet has been around and has stirred up several people to be fired because they believe they are loyal to Speaker Joe Briden or a Democrat. We are not talking low level people getting the boot either. Loomer was named Oust of Gen. Timothy Heugh, head of the NSA and US cyber Command, back in April, and Deputy Head of the NSA.
Loomer isn’t the only source who believes Trump isn’t corrupt in fact he posts 95% of the time. The thread says this number is consistent with unknown sources calling it the same thing. But it’s important to note that just because Trump doesn’t actually have the capacity, that doesn’t mean his aides are creating his content without input from the man himself.
Who’s on the keyboard?
There are two people who regularly post content to Trump’s account on Social Truth, a platform he owns and posts almost entirely under his name. The first person is Natalie Harp, a 34-year-old man who actually does the typing when the President wants to share something with the world on social media.
The portal has been called the “human printer” because it has long printed articles for Trump to read. Trump prefers to read things on paper, probably because he has a poor vision, and it can be difficult to read things on a small smartphone screen. Trump has been photographed wearing glasses, usually while reading something as he flashes around, although he has never done so in public.
Hub worked as an anchor for America’s One Network in the early 2020s and is one of the people who actually come out of keyboard stuff these days. They even have visual evidence of the hub at work from the 2024 presidential campaign. He appeared in the brainchild of political surgery documents, where viewers saw a roomful of people surrounding Trump Challenger Kamola Harris on TV at the Democratic National Convention.
The video shows a call to Harp’s post, taken voluntarily from the room. The Pro-Trump document gives the impression that there is a large group of people working on messages, which may be true even in the post-campaign, but there is no mistaking who is in charge. Trump’s message of petty, fascism is filled with complaints in every post, even if he is not sitting in the body.
Another Trump insider is Dan Scavino, who worked as an assistant manager at Trump National Golf Club Westchester in New York, according to the wire. Scavino has been there, leading the social communication efforts of Trump since it came to his name from 2017-2021, but the wired notes put Scavino transferring much of that work, suggesting the harp could be the most common type.
When Trump posted, how did he do it?
According to the wire, Trump’s posting share was actually “much higher” than 5% during the “Peak Twitter Era, although it is not clear what that means. Was it the Peak Twitter Era in the early 2010s, before he became President, or the late 2010s when he was actively sitting in the oval office? That part has never been answered.
A new report from the weak claims that Trump will sometimes post videos of himself, something Gizmodo is very concerned about. We have no doubt that Trump will see the videos he likes and find his victims to send them. But the social reality app doesn’t have a button that lets you easily download videos from your Camera Roll. This sounds like one of those things someone like a loomer or other Trump Fan would say in an attempt to make the 79-year-old sound a little more knowledgeable.
In the lead up to the 2016 presidential election, Gizmoto tested whether Trump had actually used a desktop or laptop computer in his life. We found no evidence that he had them in 2016, and they found no evidence that he did in the ten years since. At the time, Trump talked about how he sent it after 7 in the evening but “young women” sent it to him during the day.
And it’s unclear whether it sees the percentage of Trump’s tweets before they’re posted that are well received on other social media platforms. Did Trump watch the video of the AI taking out the trash from No Basters Brinkers? Did the President see the AI video of him promoting the magical “Med bed” before it was posted? Or did Dani Scavino like those and share them without permission?
We don’t yet know the answer to that, and how many percent of text-based submissions can come out under his name without a complete overhaul. And we may not get the right answer to that question because it can only be answered by the inner circle of Maga loyalists that Trump surrounds himself with. Also, these people don’t know how to be honest about anything.
The post is accessible by sliding
President Trump’s posts on social media have gotten noticeably sloppier lately. The account often contains typos and spelling errors, which have been deleted and repeated. Back in August, the account had to delete and redo Sydney Sweeney three times.
In one of the most remembered slips, Trump sent “despite cobfefe not under negative pressures,” in 2017, leading people to wonder what it means. Surprisingly, Trump’s Press Secretary at the time did not say it was a typo and the tweet was sent prematurely. He insisted that everyone knew what he meant.
Even just last week, we saw Trump’s account POST two thoughts early. On Oct. 24, the narrative wrote: “The documents just appeared: The documents completely show that Christopher Gray, Merrill Garland, Lisa,” besides, he cut something else. Those posts were removed and fully approved, calling for prosecution of identified political enemies.
And on Wednesday, Trump’s account wrote, “South Carerddd.” It is not clear what he was trying to say, but the President is in South Korea. The post was removed, but there was no immediate follow-up that gave any indication that it might have tried.
Every government is very bad
Trump’s account posts are primarily social in fact, but there are many other accounts associated with the Trump regime that post across various social swaths, such as X, Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok. And in almost every institution of the organization that has adopted the language of the meme right on the right while posting things that are really disturbing.
The Border posted a video on Facebook and Instagram containing antisemitic slides in the summer, only to be removed after the Nazis noticed and started celebrating a few weeks ago. And last week, the Department of Homeland Security posted a video of anti-snow protests in Portland, Oregon, featuring a Nazi-popular song. DHS refused to send out a Nazi dog whistle, but the far right is always active in games of absurd design.
Not all content is politically extreme. Some of them are just plain weird, like the tiktok video posted by the White House on Tuesday that featured a Jeme meme of JD Heance singing this song in the shower.
When it’s not clear, the content is often just plain misleading. The Washington Post has a new report on Wednesday about the DHS transplant using a lot of hype videos for some of their videos online. Clips sometimes have nothing to do with the immigration enforcement activities they claim to show and often face many months. A White House spokesperson responded to the post by saying they can continue to post “Banger Memes on Social Media.”
GizModo received similar responses from the government when we asked about extremist content posted on official accounts. And the Trump administration will apparently continue to do it. They believe, perhaps correctly, that part of the battle for hearts and minds is being written online. The question is whether this content meets the standard American WeirdOS or correct.
For example, photos of Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino looking like a Nazi recently went viral. About two hours after Gizmodo asked DHS about the photos, the agency posted video of Bovino leaving the Chicago Courthouse on Tuesday.

People obviously have a lot of opinions about the hand gestures Bovino was making in the video. But all of this content plays with absurd interpretation. Are we really seeing what we just saw there? It’s a question we’ll be asking ourselves again and again for the foreseeable future.
